SCOPE OF THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS The 1998-99 Public Accounts of the Province of Ontario comprise the financial statements and three volumes: Volume 1 contains the Consolidated Revenue Fund schedules and Ministry statements. The Consolidated Revenue Fund reflects the financial activities of the government’s ministries on a modified cash basis. Volume 2 contains the financial statements of significant provincial crown corporations, boards and commissions which are part of the government’s reporting entity and other miscellaneous financial statements. Volume 3 contains the details of expenditure and the Ontario Public Service senior salary disclosure. 2. A GUIDE TO VOLUME 3 OF THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS Details of expenditure are reported under the following categories for each ministry: (1) Voted Appropriations (a) Salaries and Wages Includes the total salaries and wages of those employees on staff. Also listed are temporary help suppliers who received payments accumulating to more than $50,000. (b) Employee Benefits (c) Travelling Expenses Individuals whose total travelling expenses were more than $10,000 are listed alphabetically. The travelling expenses of Ministers, Parliamentary Assistants and Deputy Ministers are included regardless of amount. (d) Other Payments Recipients of payments accumulating to more than $50,000 (Transfer Payments — $120,000) are listed in alphabetical sequence under various subheadings appropriate to the individual ministry. (e) Recoveries Note: Recoveries from Other Ministries and Activities are shown within each standard account grouping but not deducted from the individual items. The total recoveries for the Ministry is recorded under the “Summary of Expenditure”. (2) Statutory Appropriations Amounts paid are listed by individual Statutory Appropriation. 5 PUBLIC ACCOUNTS, 1998-99 7 ONTARIO PUBLIC SECTOR SALARY DISCLOSURE The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 requires employers in the public sector to disclose the names, positions, salaries and taxable benefits of those employees paid $100,000 or more during the previous calendar year. In accordance with the Act, the following information was made publicly available on April 1, 1999 and is provided again as part of the Province’s annual reporting. SALARY - The amount shown as “salary paid” in this compendium may not represent the employee’s annual rate of salary in 1998. The salary required to be made public under the Public Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 reflects the amount to be reported to Revenue Canada on the employer’s T-4 slip for the employee. The “T-4 amounts” may include components that relate to a year prior to 1998. These may result, for example, from retroactive revisions to salary scales, from grievance payments or from vacation pay-outs upon exit from employment. Note also that the “T-4 amounts” may exceed the employee’s annual rate of salary if the employee worked overtime during the year. The “T-4 amounts” may be less than the annual rate of salary if the employee worked only part of a year. TAXABLE BENEFITS - The amount shown as taxable benefits is the amount shown on the T-4 slip as prepared for Revenue Canada. These amounts can include free or subsidized housing, board and lodging, travel in a designated area, personal use of employer’s vehicle, interest free and low-interest loans, stock option benefits (generally not applicable to the public sector), other payments made on behalf of the employee such as relocation costs, employer contributions for basic life insurance and tuition reimbursements.

  • Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario

    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario

    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy.

    Lessons Learned from a Massive Climate Achievement

    ONTARIO CLEAN AIR ALLIANCE RESEARCH Lessons learned from a massive climate achievement by Brad Cundiff April 2015 160 John Street Suite 300 Toronto, Ontario M5V 2E5 Phone: 416-260-2080 [email protected] ONTARIO CLEAN AIR cleanairalliance.org ALLIANCE RESEARCH Special thanks to the Ivey Foundation and the Metcalf Foundation for their generous financial support. Report distribution partner: Ontario’s Coal Phase Out: Lessons learned from a massive climate achievement ©2015 Ontario Clean Air Alliance Research Author: Brad Cundiff, Green Living Communications Cover photograph: Demolition of Lakeview coal plant by Toronto Star Preface When we started the campaign to get rid of dirty coal, few thought we would succeed. Eliminating coal use meant getting the province’s giant electric utility to abandon a source of cheap, albeit highly polluting, energy. It meant convincing political leaders that Ontario could make the transition to cleaner electricity sources without the lights going out and bills soaring. And it meant massively increasing public understanding of the threat posed by coal, its role in the province’s electricity system, and cleaner alternatives. Coal’s oversized pollution footprint, however, also made it a huge opportunity to drive massive improvements in air quality and to make major progress in reducing climate destabilizing emissions. The task, then, was to tell an effective story about what could be gained by shifting away from coal and how we could keep the lights on without it. Our success in doing that was thanks to efforts of many people and organizations who believed in our vision of a coal-free Ontario. I would particularly like to thank the Ontario Medical Association and the Toronto Public Health, especially the late Dr.
